St. Philomena Novena

About St. Philomena

Although very little is known about St. Philomena, devotion to her is widespread. She is known as a powerful intercessor and many saints and popes have had a devotion to her.

For hundreds of years, St. Philomena was entirely unknown, but then in 1802 the bones of a young girl were discovered in the catacomb of St. Priscilla in Rome. The tomb indicated that she was likely a virgin and martyr named Philomena. In 1805 the remains were moved to Mugnano, Italy and there were soon reports of miraculous healings taking place there.

According to catholic.org, “Her popularity soon became widespread, with her most memorable devotees being St. John Vianney, St. Madeleine Sophie Barat, St. Peter Eymard, and St. Peter Chanel. After being miraculously cured, Ven. Pauline Jaricot insisted that Pope Gregory XVI begin an examination for the beatification of St. Philomena, who was to become known as the “wonder worker”. After hundreds of other miraculous cures, she was beatified in 1837. St. Philomena, who the pope named as the Patroness of the Living Rosary and the Patroness of the Children of Mary, is the only person recognized as a saint solely on the basis of her powerful intercession.”

May the Lord also please make his will for me in this situation at this time known to me and grant me the gift of the graces I need to carry out His will. Thank you sweet St. Philomena.

Thank you St. Philomena. My brother in law has been told that what he thought was melanoma is actually skin lymphoma. It is cancer, and he has two kinds of skin lymphoma but both kinds are treatable and he can live with them. The prognosis could have been much worse so he and my sister are relieved. They will treat him with UV light treatment for 6 weeks and he will have to monitor himself because they said it will come back but it isn’t life threatening and they can treat him when he needs treatment. Thank you St. Philomena for you kind and loving innocence and intercession for him and all souls.
